Although the name may suggest otherwise this is not a cross between peas and beans, it is in fact a species in its own right and has been grown in this county since the earliest part of the 17th century. Despite its long history it is rarely offered for sale, a shame as this is a lovely bean to grow and eat. You treat it in the same way as a climbing French bean and it will reward you with a prolific habit ad will need very regular picking! The pods are at their best for fresh use when no more than 7-8cm long. If they do get larger then this simply let them grow away and harvest them later for use as haricot. Price for 20 seeds
